My take on keeping fashion photography interesting.

This painting, though similar to my other rooster portraits, is at the same time different. It is number three in a series of four. It is in memory of Zeik, the araucana rooster, who died April 25, 2008, around 6:30 pm. His death was unexpected and mysterious – he was young, had no illnesses, and had no apparent injuries. Let this be his Eulogy:
  Zeik came to our farm accidentally. One year we bought some chicks from a feed store that were supposed to be all hens. Zeik was somehow mixed in with the brood, but we didn’t mind. Since he was a chick he was always mild mannered and beautiful. His tail feathers were iridescent green, as was his dark colored body, but his neck and wings were white. He was most known for his unusual ‘beard’ of feathers instead of a gobble, giving him an Amish look. Thus, Ezekiel (Zeik) became his name. Zeik, as mild mannered as he was, became the target for Big White’s anger (the Fowl King). They sparred often and fought to defend territory and hens. Zeik was nearly the same size as the other roosters, but that didn’t help him. He lost most of the battles because he wasn’t aggressive enough. Zeik settled for second best, but he stole our hearts and was our number one.
  Don’t let the news of Zeik’s death sadden you, for my painting is a celebration of his life. Thus, title of this painting is “Fowl Martyr.”  What he can no longer tell us I will tell for him through my art. A picture is worth a thousand words.

This was for my art class. My teacher said that the lines were too dark and she could not see what it was. I think that it came out decent and I am putting it in my collection.

“Down these mean streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither tarnished nor afraid, The ILLUSTRATOR…. must be a complete man and a common man and yet an unusual man. He must be, to use a rather weathered phrase, a man of honor… He talks as the man of his age talks, that is, with rude wit, a lively sense of the grotesque, a disgust for sham, and a contempt for pettiness. He is cynical yet idealistic, romantic yet full of despair, an essentially gentle man moving across the landscape of beauty, decadence and violence.” READ that students of illustation!
